CA is an independent set of libraries. Projects will be able to use them separately.
If the certificates have to be stored in a data store such as db,ldap then it is better to
use the PL IDM as an implementation detail.

Would be nice if CA could be as separate as possible from PL IDM API.
Then we could use it in Keycloak.
